A 6-Month Prospective, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Adaptive-Trial-Design Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of 80mg b.i.d Ladostigil in Patients With Mild to Moderate Probable Alzheimer's Disease
For many, Alzheimer's disease is the number one medical issue facing our aging society. It is a late onset neurodegenerative disease, frequently under diagnosed, that impairs memory and cognitive performance. There are no known treatments that can either prevent or reverse its progression. Consequently, there still remains a need to evaluate treatments which can better stabilize the symptoms of this disease. These symptoms frequently include decreased functional capacity and negative psychological attributes (e,g, depression, anxiety) in association with the memory and cognition deficits. This current study is being done to assess an investigational compound that has been designed to not only improved the cognitive status of affected patients but to also better manage all symptoms. Hence, the ultimate goal is to provide patients with an improved quality of life by slowing the progression of this neurodegenerative disease

- ADAS-Cog: Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale — 26 weeks
Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) is a brief neuropsychological assessment used to assess the severity of cognitive symptoms of dementia, The ADAS-Cog consist of 11 questions: Word Recall Task Naming Objects and Fingers Following Commands Constructional Praxis Ideational Praxis Orientation Word Recognition Task Remembering Test Directions Spoken Language Comprehension Word-Finding Difficulty Item scores are summed. Low total scores indicate better cognitive performance. Minimum score 0 is best and maximum is 70 - worst. For the purposes of analyses the change from baseline is computed to each administration of the test.
